- JonChesterfield 4y agoWell, yes, there's always the option of bringing a case for insider trading (or possibly treason) for things like that. It's hard to make more from shorting the pound than the loss across your entire estate from sterling crashing though, unless it's now common for wealthy conservatives to hold most of their assets in dollars instead of UK real estate.
